Do they look like books?
 

I just finished this one yesterday. Not terribly happy with my quilting on it, but I suppose the important things...

Do they look like stacks of books?

Charity quilt. I'm sure someone will like it for the design (not the quilting)! I did learn from it, however.

Oh, and I did use up a few of my 2" strips...just a few, though.

It was a free pattern from Windham fabrics...

I love it, such great fabrics, and yes, it does look like books.

That is just gorgeous, simple pattern, but oh so effective, well done.

Books and quilts - two of my favorite things. I think they look like stacks of books, as Tartan suggested you could quilt some titles on a few of the spines and that will make it very obvious to all. Is the border a print?? Or are those actually tiny pieced squares?

The border is a print. This one is a charity quilt so I'll decline on the embroidery...

Yep! Definitely stacked books.

very nice pattern and a good idea for strips.

Cute quilt! I think this would be a fun quilt to use some of those salvage edges for book titles. Some of the fabrics have very fun names.

Great book quilt. It does look like books. Thank you for the link to that pattern.

I love it whether it looks like books or not. It is like the one on the pattern link you sent. Thanks for the link. I also thought selvedges would work well with this pattern. Great quilt you made and whoever gets it will love it!

You could use strips from selvages as titles on the books.

A very pretty quilt.

Selvages would be easy to add to the spines of a few books, scattered throughout. Saved the pattern, thank you.

Some lucky person is going to enjoy this beautiful quilt!!

Yes it looks like books and it looks so comfy. I also believe it looks very good. I love your binding!

yes indeed they do nice job!!!

I like it. It looks cozy. Nice job and great use of those scraps!

Looks very good !

Another great charity quilt, JFIn... :thumbup: If you decide to do a similar one for a special person as suggested you could use selvage titles. Press Wonder Under or Heat N Bond to the back side and press down.

The first thing I thought when I saw the picture, was stacks of books!! :D I think it looks great & you have out done yourself. Thank you for sharing with all of us!!
:D :D:D :D

I agree you should place titles on some of them. Good job.

Sorry love the pattern but can't see books. If they were in a stack they would be ordered by size and levelled up so they don't topple.

Not my books! Lol! Too "organized" for me. Love the quilt. Poetic license.

Very pretty !!

Very nice and yes, they do look like books.

I think it would be great as an 'I Spy' quilt.

Nicely done!

totally agree

It's a great quilt. I love the simplicity of it. Yes, you could say they look like stacks of books. To be honest, that wouldn't have been my first thought, but no matter. I really like the quilt. Very nice of you to make it for charity.

I think this is a great idea...on just some of the spines not all. If you didn't want to embroider titles you can always use a pigma pen making sure it's a permanent black.
Very pretty and ambitious. :)

Yes, it looks like books..Nicely done...
